Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / September 12, 2019 / Global
Energy Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1
(“Global Energy Metals”, the “Company” and/or "GEMC") is pleased
to announce that it has been selected to participate in an upcoming
government-led trade and investment mission to South Korea. The
trade mission is a collaboration between the Government of British
Columbia, the Government of Canada’s Lands and Minerals Sector,
Natural Resources Canada, the South Korean Government and Korea
Resources Corporation (KORES) in an effort to meet industrial needs
for mineral resources supply.
This mission, scheduled for mid-October , is built on the vision of the
Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan, to expand trade and investment-
related efforts in key Asian markets and position Canada and its nat-
ural resource companies as a competitive investment destination, a
global supplier of choice for minerals and metals products, and a
leader in mining services and supplies and clean technologies.
Mitchell Smith, CEO & President commented:
“On behalf of Global Energy Metals, I look forward to representing
our company and Canada as a responsible and sustainable future
supplier of the critical minerals essential for the growth of the new
energy economy. This exclusive trade mission to South Korea, one of
the world’s leading countries for electric vehicle battery
manufacturing, will be a critical step in forging lasting and
prosperous relationships while actively introducing our company and
its projects to interested investment partners seeking access to
battery raw materials from safe, pro-mining jurisdictions.”
Global Energy Metals will exhibit at the trade mission and participate
in scheduled match-making activities with related Korean
corporations, attend high level meetings with regional industrial
leaders and government officials, and hold discussions focussed on
specific projects and trade relationships.
A considerable contingent is expected with confirmed participation
from Korean firms such as LG Chem, LG International, Samsung C/T ,
SK Innovation, EcoPro BM, POSCO, Korea Zinc, Hyundai Steel, SK
Networks, LS-Nikko amongst others.
Following the fair, the delegation will travel to EcoPro BM, located in
Cheongju-si, a company that is a leader, both in Korea and abroad,
within the high volume cathode material market used in electric
vehicles, power tools and electric energy storage systems.
Korea - Canada Trade Mission
South Korea is one of Canada’s natural allies having the Canada-Korea
Free Trade Agreement in place provides a benefit for seeking invest-
ment and trade opportunities. Importantly for our sector , Korea is an
auto manufacturing and high tech hub – industries that rely on critical
minerals such as rare earth elements and battery metals like lithium,
cobalt, graphite and nickel. Korea is very active in seeking to secure
global value chains for these critical minerals and to reduce their re-
liance on imports from non-market economies. In this context,
through this mission’s events, including investment forums, B2B meet-
ings, and a critical minerals roundtable, Global Energy Metals will be
positioned as a solution to Korea’s challenges and gaps in securing
safe supply of critical metals needed to fuel growth in its domestic
industries including energy storage and vehicle electrification.
